Sometimes an end-of-summer sunset can feel bittersweet. You know the number of sunsets is dwindling, yet the beauty of it never wears off. Much like those sunsets, this punch brings together bitter and sweet flavors with a combination of Campari and pineapple juice for a big pitcher cocktail that looks and tastes like those bittersweet sunsets themselves.

To ensure this punch looks like a sunset itself, you have to mix together the grenadine, rum, and Campari before gently pouring over the pineapple juice, lime juice, and ginger beer. Give everything a stir before sipping.
